WDFW Spring Bear 2022 cancelled!

Wow.

[TriggerMike]

How is there not some sort of tie breaker in place for these situations?

[mburrows]

Unbelievable

[KNOPHISH]

Ya a tie does not equal a loss. Tie goes to the runner and should remain the same. Mass support for spring bear so how can they deny it?

 That is a great pic of a great bear and great hunters

To change/approve a law/reg there needs to be a majority, there is no majority in a 4-4 vote. "Tie goes to the runner" is not how the law works.

I see the other thread about all the antis on the zoom meeting. Good timing to call it during opening week of hunting season when we’re mostly in the field. But I saw a lot of support for it, did all our letters and calls get deleted? was there evidence of lots of sows being killed or just heresay. Why are biologists and science ignored?

Why would they completely remove an existing season if was a tie? Wouldn’t it resort back to what we had the year before. I was under the impression that they were only proposing to lower the permit numbers in a certain unit. But know we have no bear season in the spring at all.

Very disappointing. I actually was planning on applying for a spring bear hunt in 2022. I usually only apply for the point. Would have been in the draw with 11 points.

7 here, which is already ridiculous

Maybe 6 I dunno, don't much matter now

Because the current regulation is only valid for that hunting season, in this case 2021. The Commission was voting on the season/regs for 2022.

I'll bet everyone here $1 that you will still be able to BUY a spring bear point this year.

unfortunately you're probably in the minority as lots of folks will look at this as a year to jump ahead in the points pool or are too scared to fall a point behind.

They always seem to have impeccable timing with their meetings. It's ALMOST as if it's deliberate
